A traffic collision on the Folsom Boulevard on-ramp to westbound U.S. Highway 50 in Rancho Cordova, CA, caused significant traffic disruptions today. The incident occurred early in the morning around 1:22 AM, involving two vehicles, one of which required towing.

Emergency response units were promptly dispatched to manage the situation and control traffic flow. As a result of the collision, one lane was closed on the southbound Folsom Boulevard corridor, extending from the on-ramp to westbound U.S. Highway 50. This lane closure led to delays and congestion for motorists during the early morning hours, impacting the typical flow of traffic.

The assisting wrecker was actively engaged in the removal of the damaged vehicle, which had gone off the roadway and down an embankment. Multiple emergency response units remained on-site to ensure safety and facilitate the clearing of the scene.

The lane closure remained in effect until the vehicles were successfully removed, contributing to traffic backups in the area. Motorists were advised to seek alternate routes to avoid delays as the situation was resolved.

This traffic incident underscores the importance of exercising caution while driving, especially during early morning hours when visibility may be reduced. Staying informed about traffic updates can help drivers navigate the roads safely.
